The five of them sat down and had another hearty meal, during which they couldn't help but praise the dish for being so well cooked.
During a break in the meal, the village chief called his son Cui Hongchuan to his side and whispered to him, "Chuanzi, go to Jiang Ning's house and call her over. Secretary Fang wants to see her."
"Okay, Dad. Is there something wrong?" Cui Hongchuan was a little worried.
Ning's cooking skills are well-known in this area. Did something go wrong with her cooking today? Is Secretary Fang going to criticize her?
"No, Ning is a very good cook. Secretary Fang and the others called her over to ask her how she made this dish."
Cui Hongchuan finally felt relieved after hearing this: "Okay, Dad, I'll go call Ning over right away, you guys eat slowly first."
When Cui Hongchuan ran to Jiang's house, Jiang Ning and others were chatting in the yard.
Before he could say anything, his sharp-eyed uncle noticed him and said, "Chuanzi, what's wrong? Is there something that brings you here so late?"
"Uncle, I'm here to look for Ning. Secretary Fang wants to see her."
"Looking for me?" Jiang Ning was a little confused. Was it because his dishes were not cooked well? This shouldn't be the case. He had tasted all the dishes himself, and the taste was absolutely fine.
"Yes, Secretary Fang wanted to ask you how you made those dishes. They tasted very good."
Only after hearing this did Jiang Ning feel relieved.
"Brother Hongchuan, wait for me a moment. I'll go in and get a coat and then go with you."
"Okay." Cui Hongchuan agreed with a red face.
But since his face was already red and a little dark when he ran over, you couldn't tell that he was embarrassed.
But Jiang Weimin, who was standing by, felt it was suspicious when he saw his brother, who had grown up with him, suddenly become like this, but he couldn't say what was suspicious about it.
Before he could figure it out, Jiang Ning also came out: "Let's go, Brother Hongchuan."
"Ning girl, let me go with you. It's getting dark now." Jiang Weimin, who was sitting on a stool, said.
"It's okay, Wei Min, I'll bring Ning girl back later."
"Brother, you've been tired all day. You don't have to go with me. I can come back by myself later."
Hearing this, Jiang Weimin had no choice but to agree.
The two walked towards the village chief's house. Along the way, Jiang Ning was talking and Cui Hongchuan was listening beside him.
Soon the two men arrived at the village chief's house. They had already finished their meal and were sitting in the main room chatting.
"Dad, Ning girl is here."
"Ning, you're here. Let me introduce you. This is Secretary Fang, this is Secretary Chen, and these are Director Liu and Section Chief Guan, who are in charge of agriculture."
The village chief introduced them to Jiang Ning one by one and she kept greeting them from behind.
"Hello, Secretary Fang. Hello, Secretary Chen. Hello, Director Liu. Hello, Section Chief Guan."
"Hello, young comrade. We came here for an inspection today. Thank you for your hard work in preparing lunch and dinner. You did a great job." Director Liu praised.
"I didn't expect that this was made by a female chef. I thought it was made by a male chef. I have eaten here so many times, but this is the first time I have met a female chef. Your cooking skills are rare. If you come to our company to be a chef, your skills will be more than enough." Secretary Chen also said to Jiang Ning.
"Thank you all for your likes. I like cooking, so I have studied this aspect for a long time. There are indeed very few female chefs now, and most of them are male chefs." Jiang Ning replied.
"It's really good. Your craft can be done very well in our unit." Secretary Fang agreed with their words.
He then asked how many people were in Jiang Ning's family and what they were doing. Jiang Ning answered all the questions one by one. He only briefly mentioned that he was setting up a stall to sell braised dishes. After all, private stalls were still not allowed at that time, and they were still selling braised dishes.
"You are such a good cook, but you can't often be a chef in the countryside. Anyway, it's not the busy farming season now, and our unit happens to be short of a chef. Why don't you give it a try? The monthly salary is only about 60 yuan, and when you become proficient in cooking, it will be around 80 yuan. But you have to pass the exam. If you are admitted, there will be no problem." Secretary Fang said to her.
Oh my god, how could this be so lucky? I just needed to cook two meals for the village chief, do him a favor, and earn some work points. How did I suddenly find a stable job? Jiang Ning was a little shocked.
Seeing that Jiang Ning hadn't spoken for a long time, the village chief thought she was frightened, so he said, "Ning girl, are you so happy that you've gone crazy? Why aren't you talking?"
After hearing what the village chief said, Jiang Ning came back to his senses: "No, no, I'm just too happy."
Secretary Fang added, "Don't be too happy too soon. You still have to pass the exam before you can go to work."
It turns out that we can never do without exams.
"However, you should be able to pass the exam with your level, so don't worry." Secretary Fang added.
"Okay, thank you Secretary Fang."
"Go to the city the day after tomorrow to register. I'll need Secretary Chen to give you a letter of introduction."
"Okay, thank you Secretary Fang."
Jiang Ning chatted with Secretary Fang and others for a while and got the letter of introduction before going back.
Cui Hongchuan: "Ning girl, it's so late now, let me take you there."
Jiang Ning glanced at the dark road and said, "Okay, thank you, Brother Hongchuan."
Two people with flashlights slowly moved towards the Jiang family.
"Ning girl, I want to apologize to you." Cui Hongchuan suddenly said to Jiang Ning.
"What's wrong? Brother Hongchuan." Jiang Ning was confused.
"Last time, when you were the chef at our house, I doubted your cooking skills. Now, not only are you a well-known chef in the surrounding area, but even Secretary Fang thinks you're great and wants you to try your hand at his company. I was so impatient at the time that I accused you of causing trouble. I'm sorry."
Jiang Ning thought it was something else: "It's okay, Brother Hongchuan. I forgot about it. You are right to think so. After all, you have never seen me cook, so it's right to doubt me. I don't blame you, you don't have to apologize to me."
"Okay, as long as you're not angry." Cui Hongchuan's voice became obviously happier.
Are you really that happy? Jiang Ning was a little confused.
Jiang Ning arrived home soon. As expected, everyone in the family was still awake and waiting for him.
Seeing Jiang Ning go home, Cui Hongchuan also went back.
"What's wrong, Ning girl?" asked Old Man Jiang.
"It's nothing, it's just that I cook well, and Secretary Fang saw that I had nothing to do at home, so he introduced me to his company as a chef."
Jiang Jianguo: "Really? Ning girl. This is a great joyous occasion."
Liu Zhaodi: "Now that Ning has a stable job, we don't have to worry about her setting up a stall anymore."
Yes, what should Jiang Ning do with his braised food stall in the city?
